No matter where he goes, David Beckham just can’t shake the spotlight. On Saturday, he was in attendance to take in the action at Wimbledon during the men’s doubles finals. And at one point during the match, he received a rather lengthy ovation after catching an errant tennis ball that had ricochetted off a line […]

David Beckham celebrated his 40th birthday on Saturday the same way every 10-year-old girl dreamed of celebrating their birthday in the mid-90s—by partying with the Spice Girls: A photo posted by David Beckham (@davidbeckham) on May 3, 2015 at 7:16am PDT I know what you’re probably thinking: Where’s Mel B, a.k.a. “Scary Spice”? Your […]

According to the new Adidas “All In” campaign commercial in advance of the 2014 FIFA World Cup (which starts on Thursday), David Beckham apparently hangs out with Zinedine Zidane, Gareth Bale, and Lucas Moura at his house and they all play video games. At least, they start out playing video games, before things start to […]

Even at the height of his abilities, David Beckham was never the greatest soccer player in the world. However, the guy was, and still is, damn handsome. That made him the perfect pitchman, which in turn made him a global icon. Of course, the lustre on soccer’s golden boy had long worn off for us […]

David Beckham‘s storied soccer career came to an end on Saturday, when he was substituted for Ezequiel Lavezzi in the 82nd minute of PSG’s 3-1 victory over Brest. During his professional career, Beckham made 523 appearances with Manchester United, Preston North End, Real Madrid, Los Angeles Galaxy, AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain, from 1993 to […]

Say whatever you want about David Beckham—that he’s overrated, that he’s underachieved during his national career with England, that he’s got too many giant billboards of himself wearing only underwear—but you cannot deny the fact that he is a fierce competitor. When he’s out there on the pitch, he wants to win as bad as […]

You may not be a huge fan of classical music (or even a small fan, or a fan at all), but the tune to Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy” is one of the best known in the universe, and now you can hear it performed in a way it’s never been heard before. In a new […]

Will Ferrell made his knowledge and skills in the sport of basketball known to the world when he starred in Semi-Pro back in 2008. And during Game Three of the opening round NHL playoff series between the Los Angeles Kings and the Vancouver Canucks last night, he was showing off his hockey knowledge while taking […]

Lionel Messi, Derrick Rose and David Beckham are three of the most well known athletes in the world today, and Adidas is lucky enough to have all three of those superstars, as well as worldwide pop star Katy Perry, working for them at the moment. The mega-shoe company put the four icons to work in […]

For a team that hasn’t even made the playoffs since being introduced into Major League Soccer in 2007, you’d think the fans of the Toronto FC would have given up on their club by now. But that certainly hasn’t been the case. In fact, it appeared as though support for the Toronto FC was as […]

Manchester United played a testimonial match for Gary Neville against Italian club team Juventus at Old Trafford earlier today, but the real star of the match would end up being another former Man U icon, David Beckham. Neville retired in February at the age of 36 after he felt that he could no longer compete […]

“Better eat your Wheaties,” was once a common response to a child saying they wished to be a professional athlete. Originally, it was a marketing slogan, but it became a popular refrain, which must have put the Wheaties ad guys on cloud nine. Few products are so closely linked with champions (sorry, Buick) as Wheaties, […]

There aren’t many times you will see a clip from The Ellen DeGeneres Show on a sports blog, but when a segment of hers features soccer star David Beckham going undercover for some massage parlor humor, we simply have to make an exception. Ellen asked Beckham to take part in a segment of the show […]

As a professional athlete, enduring the boos, cat calls and other forms of verbal abuse is all part of the business. David Beckham has become all too familiar with this part of his job description, and once again he has decided to stand up for himself rather than sit back and take the abuse. Following […]

After seeing the perennial week-one injury bloodbath in the NFL that has left fantasy owners reeling and fans cursing their luck, many wonder if players’ tendencies to get injured are the result of playing style, physical composition, or simply bad karma for not tipping their valet.
